How long do I have to be in the sun to get enough Vitamin D for the day?

[Rasel Ali (IT)]

Vitamin D is an important vitamin that cannot be synthesized by the human body. Most of the vitamin D your body needs comes from sunlight. 7-dehydrocholesterol, which is present under the skin of the human body, can be converted into vitamin D by exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays. That is why vitamin D is also called the "sunshine vitamin". There are two periods of time each day that are most suitable for sunbathing. The first time slot is from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM and the second time slot is from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM. In winter and spring, expose your face and upper arms to the sun for 10 to 30 minutes. In summer and autumn, ultraviolet rays are stronger. Expose your body to direct sunlight for 5 to 10 minutes a day 2 to 3 times a week to allow your body to produce enough vitamin D.



In fact, during the summer, the human body produces about 20,000 IU of vitamin D in just a few minutes of sunbathing. The body can store excess vitamin D in fat for winter use.

Sun exposure also stimulates the release of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and makes you feel relaxed and happy.
